And exactly how on earth is the CAA going to police this - especially after next Thursday when there will be an explosion in the number of UAV's/SUAV's being shot skyward.
I wouldn't mind betting that 98% of the 'Xmas Pressie' drones will be flown in violation of the ANO.
So.... Is the current circus clowns, sorry I mean government going to suddenly give the CAA a few million quid to have an army of sphincter police patrolling up and down the country? - I think not.
Are local police forces going to suddenly divert their already far too stretched resources to answer a call from a member of the public saying "Eeeekkkk... there a flying thing over my house" we all know the answer to that one.... Hell assuming that they even bother to send a patrol car round to take a statement from Mrs "I don't want them flying over my garden" whoever it was flying over said garden will be long gone, packed up, home and charging their Lipo's for another onslaught of ANO breaches.
Come on guys, lets get real shall we..... Nothing is going to happen !! The only thing we will see is the odd prosecution for somebody who has an accident/injures somebody.
The rest of the noobs will carry on in blissful ignorance without even knowing what the Air Navigation Order is !!
My case in point is someone like this idiot

If you care to look through his videos there has actually been comments from the CAA UK advising the jerk he could be in breach of certain regulations. He has carried on regardless and is still posting regular videos of flying in stupid places. There is even video showing his face on some of his uploads. However, have the CAA done anything.... of course not, they are too overstretched as it is worrying about passenger carrying big flying things and computer meltdowns in the air traffic control system :lol:
